Best ways to Make New Friends

[matt000333]

So im about to get SSI and finally have chance to get out more and meet new people I desperately need new friends few ones I have are too moody and usually want something from me i used to think forums would be good and their ok for online friends but I do get kinda annoyed some are moody half the time and don't want to talk and all of them never talk to me first I seem to always have to make the first conversation no matter what any advice would be helpful im determined to change my life for the better and believe if I can create a more positive environment it would really benefit me.

Be honest,stay true to what you believe in,whatever that is ,people like confidence -somebody who is calm,what you're interested in Will bring you into contact probably with friends .

I’m in the same situation, Matt. I’ve given up on the people in my life right now who treat me like I’m second best or act passive aggressively towards me. I was always the person who made contact first. Seriously - ALWAYS! So I’ve stopped. She’s started to treat me like crap after all I’ve done for her! I’m not going to let it stop me from meeting others who will accept me for who I am. My advice is try not to focus on the outcome of a person as that can lead to expectations that soon turn into disappointment when our needs are not met with them.

My advice would be to find the weirdos. Find other people who are marginalised, be that because they're into alternative music and clothes, or because they're neurodiverse or whatever. I only found true friends when I started to find other people like me. Nearly all of them are "weird" in some way (in terms of how society looks at them and what they deem "normal".)
